My friend has a old non-MPFI Esteem and he used to fill fuel regularly there. He had massive problems with fuel filter choking up, sudden stops, drops in acceleration, and his service folks said it was all due to adulterated fuel. Since he used to only fill up there, he told me the quality at that station was suspect.
However, please remember this is just one chap--so I don't have any conclusive evidence where 5-10 folks say the same thing.
Incidentally, I used to service my old Zen at Hind Automobiles (the HP pump next to the Kings Circle flyover) and the Maruti Service Station guys there (the service station owners were tenants, I think, and hence had no direct financial interest in the pump) used to say the fuel quality at the pump was excellent. The guys were pretty trustworthy and did a good job in the nearly 3 years I used to go there (ended only around a month ago, when I sold my Zen).
I have 'complete' trust in only one station in Bombay--New Bombay Auto at Linking Road in Bandra, opp Shopper's Stop. Incidentally, they have Speed 97 too. I used to live in Matunga too, but have gone to Bandra quite often just to tank up!
